Now, what is your ability? Your climbing style? How is your finger strength? Can you pull hand-foot matches like those iconic photos from the ‘80s?

Now try this: face the wall and raise one foot up, hip open sideways pretending to “load” imaginary holds with your feet. The curve that describes the foot as it rises is also the shape that the foot takes to grip and push on foot holds.

Our sizing chart comes from the feedback of experienced climbers, you know, those with the famous callus that stands proudly on the big toe. Yet, we know sizing is individual to each climber and cannot be generalized, so we recommend you find your size by actually trying on different models and sizes.

Free yourself from the stereotype that correlates performance with pain and find the shoe that fits your foot rather than forcing your foot into a shoe. We design shoes that perform in comfort without overly constricting your foot. Downsizing too much will just limit the design of the shoe.

For example, the BAT employs a “relaxed fit” construction with low volume at the toes and it fits better a half size up from normal whereas the Dagara is very soft, which means you can fit in a much smaller shoe than normal, yet under sizing this shoe would limit it’s ability to flex as it was designed and reduce performance!
